This headline would have sounded oddly odd last year. But this year it sounds just right. So far I have managed to stay away from political events. Even last year my complete digitality meant I would largely pass through people's fingers. People would have a hard time pinning me down. He has a blog. Does he want to be on the media committee? No? He shows up for every event everywhere. Does he want to be on the insider conference call? No? Weird. He knows all the top Obama volunteers in all four boroughs - the five families - but what is his title? No title?
I was only interested in showing up for events - event planning not being my cup of tea - and getting my word out on the big picture. My presence was utterly local, I never stepped outside the city boundaries as an Obama volunteer, but my focus always was national.
- Long Walk To Freedom: Just A Third World Guy Dazzled By The City April 2007
- Long Walk To Freedom May 2007
- Barack Has To Talk Much About His Mother
- Barack's Mother Makes An Appearance
- Give Me A Huge Rally In This City Before Summer Is Over September 2007
- The Largest Rally In US Presidential Campaign History September 2007
I might have been absent from the active political scene in the city so far this year, but I have not become non-political. Anything but. I have become a single issue politician. I am a Third World Guy. Internet access is the voting right for this 21st century. So help me God.
Iran
Iran is of interest to me this year like Obama was of interest to me last year. It will break my heart to see this revolution also go to waste. I feel like I could contribute, since we did this in Nepal in 2006 and again in 2007. It can be done. The President of the United States might have boundaries and limitations, as might the US Congress. But we the netroots face no limitations. We can do all we can imagine. The basics of a revolution like in Iran are not that different from that of a US presidential election.

Rangel
I don't give a flying fuck about Charlie Rangel. I never did. I could smell Charlie Rangel's mediocrity from 10,000 miles away. It is so much easier to smell that mediocrity from less than 10 miles away. That little pumpkin motherfucker, that little hippopotamus motherfucker. Okay, we got both the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom covered. Now we can let go of old man Rangel.
Now you know I don't like a-l-l black politicians. Barack is special.
